Community Services

Services Include

Schools and communities nationwide are being faced with the never-ending - and growing - threat of alcohol, drug, and tobacco use and abuse in our youth.

VOICES is a community coalition funded by the Texas
Department of State Health Services (DSHS), established for the
purpose of assisting communities within the six counties served
to develop policies, procedures and activities to prevent youth
from using alcohol, drugs and tobacco. The VOICES Coalition
serves the following counties: Crosby, Lynn, Dickens, Hale, Hockley,
Lubbock, and Terry.

Because each community has different issues that need to be
addressed, VOICES is actively seeking volunteers from each
community in these counties. Local volunteers are able to
identify and understand the issues of their community, as well
as being able to offer specific solutions that would work best
for their community. As a member, you will have the opportunity
to be actively involved in making changes in your community, as
well as attending prevention conferences in Lubbock and Austin.

Mission Statement: To empower communities to create
positive changes in attitudes, behaviors and policies to prevent
and reduce at-risk behavior in youth with a unified focus on
alcohol tobacco, and other drugs.

Vision Statement:Community members uniting to create a
safe environment for families to nurture and protect children
and youth through education and awareness.
